For Your Inspiration: The Iron Man

According to the artist, this steampunk creature is “based on the story of the Iron Man, which the movie Iron Giant was based off.” My mind immediately wonders who built something like this. And why? What kind of world could something like this exist in?

I’d say it would exist in a fairly frightening world; given that it’s steampunk tech, that would probably mean it could be set in a time period like Victorian England or even, say, Revolutionary War-era England, and a giant iron robot going up against American soldiers armed with muskets and bayonets might’ve made the whole Revolution turn out quite differently, to say the least.
